To Miquel Puig a great cooker, and a great person
Gastronomy is a part of the cultural heritage of a country. Let’s keep it alive.
Socrates – Comenius Project 2005/6 “The four seasons and the gastronomy”
Catalonia is geographically diverse and enjoys a variety of fresh, high-quality seafood (although, due to high demand, much seafood is now crated in from other parts of Spain and Europe), meat, poultry, game, fruit , vegetables, rice dishes, wines of great international reputation, olive oil and traditional desserts like the famous "Catalonian Cream". All these products can come in unusual and delicious combinations: meat and seafood (a genre known as mar i muntanya - 'sea and mountain'), poultry and fruit, fish and nuts.
Every region of Catalonia, whether inland or on the coast, has its own specialties.
Catalan cuisine, like so many other aspects of our culture, has its roots in
popular lore and tradition. The skilful preparation by traditional chefs can produce delicacies out of a few simple ingredients. What could be more mouth-watering than a slice of crusty bread rubbed with tomato, then seasoned with olive oil and salt. Other typical Catalan dishes call for a high degree of culinary skill and as well as originality.
The essence of Catalan food lies in its sauces for meat and fish. There are five
main types: sofregit (fried onion, tomato and garlic); samfaina or chanfaina (sofregit plus red pepper and aubergine or courgette); picada (based on ground almonds, usually with garlic, parsley, pine or hazel nuts, and sometimes breadcrumbs); allioli (pounded garlic with olive oil, often with egg yolk added to make more of a mayonnaise); and romesco (an almond, tomato, olive oil, garlic and vinegar sauce, also used as a salad dressing).
Wild mushrooms are a Catalan passion - people disappear into the forests in
autumn to pick them. There are many, many types of wild mushrooms; with the large succulent rovellons being a favourite. We’ll find them in many dishes.
Before finshing we have to mention our typical desserts which are Crema
Catalana (Catalan Cream), Mel i mató (of curds and honey), and the Postres de Music ("dessert of the musician") with pine-kernels and raisins.
Here you are some Catalan recipes, prepared by the students of Les Cometes
school.
Enjoy them.
